“This Demon Lord has now reached the Grandmaster Ninth Realm. As long as I dual cultivate with you, I can become the third Martial Emperor of this era.”
The Broken Shadow Demon Lord laughed arrogantly.
“Yu Yi Jue, once, your cultivation was equal to mine. But you were betrayed by your own disciple whom you personally raised. That must have been a bitter taste, right? To fend off those Righteous Alliance riffraff while wounded and fleeing is indeed impressive, but if you claim to have broken through, you’re taking me for a fool.”
Fragments of memory finally surged in Yu Yi’s mind.
Before the original owner was betrayed by Su Cheng, her cultivation truly matched that of the Broken Shadow Demon Lord, at the Grandmaster Eighth Realm.
Yet, after sustaining serious injuries and being hunted, she managed to break through multiple realms while hiding with the protection of Blue Ling’er and Huang Doudou?
Each step beyond the Grandmaster realm requires years of cultivation.
However, after Yu Yi took over the original body, her cultivation jumped directly from the Grandmaster Eighth Realm, leaping three realms to become a Martial Emperor!?
Astonished, Yu Yi also thought that perhaps it was precisely because of her transmigration and possession that the breakthrough occurred at the moment the original owner’s soul faded away.
Yu Yi realized that someone had informed the Broken Shadow Demon Lord of her failed breakthrough.
Yet, as the only two who knew the truth, Blue Ling’er and Huang Doudou were aware that their master had succeeded, so it was unlikely either had leaked Yu Yi’s whereabouts.
Moreover, neither could have imagined that their master had achieved an unprecedented triple leap!
“A newly born Martial Emperor is…me!?”
Yu Yi was filled with excitement inside, but the same old problem remained—she only knew one or two moves, making her a fake master in name only.
Even with high cultivation, if she didn’t have enough techniques, she’d be in trouble if surrounded by other experts and countered by “attribute suppression.”
She had to defeat the Broken Shadow Demon Lord quickly and then go to the Shushu Pavilion to study.
But right now, a difficult problem stood before Yu Yi.
Based on the original owner’s memories, she hadn’t used water or ice techniques against the Broken Shadow Demon Lord, suggesting those powers might be ineffective.
A more pure and violent technique was needed.
Yu Yi pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.
“Doudou, earlier, as your master, I examined your Second Senior Sister’s progress. Now, it’s your turn.”
Suddenly called upon, Huang Doudou’s small face twitched, but she didn’t lose her composure.
She answered quietly,
“Disciple obeys.”
The petite girl stepped before the Broken Shadow Demon Lord, like a cute Little Yellow Chick facing a proud and mighty Eagle.
At a glance, anyone could guess the outcome.
Blue Ling’er cast a worried look at Huang Doudou.
Although Blue Ling’er had previously faced the top ten experts of the Righteous Alliance—a formidable force—their cultivation was still below the Broken Shadow Demon Lord, and she had terrain advantage.
Huang Doudou’s cultivation was already lower than her senior Blue Ling’er. Now, to face the just-broken-through, aura-brimming Broken Shadow Demon Lord, the pressure was unimaginable.
But both girls knew clearly—if they retreated now, it would disgrace their sect.
“Doudou’s cultivation in the Ten Realms of Grandmaster has stagnated for some time. Did Master have her face the Broken Shadow Demon Lord to intentionally create pressure, in hopes of pushing her to break through?”
Blue Ling’er wondered, sneaking glances at Yu Yi.
Yu Yi seemed calm on the surface, but Blue Ling’er saw a trace of anticipation and worry in her slightly furrowed brows.
“As expected…while Master hopes Doudou gains something, she’s also worried about her safety. I knew Master still cares for us. If Doudou really gets into danger, Master will surely act!”
Blue Ling’er breathed a sigh of relief, thinking silently.
Unaware that Blue Ling’er’s loyalty was rising, Yu Yi herself was full of anxiety.
“The gap in cultivation between Broken Shadow Demon Lord and Huang Doudou is just too big…I really don’t want to pit my disciple like this. Please, hurry and recall more memories!”
In a blink, the Broken Shadow Demon Lord attacked.
“Annoying brat, go die somewhere else!”
He vanished into the shadows and instantly appeared behind Huang Doudou, his hand turned into a sharp blade, stabbing straight at her heart.
His hand passed through Huang Doudou’s petite form, but just like when Blue Ling’er’s ice blade had pierced his own body earlier, there was no real sensation or injury.
Looking closely, he realized Huang Doudou in front of him was a remnant shadow—her real body had already turned into a bolt of lightning, retreating to safety.
“So fast!”
Blue Ling’er blurted out.
The Broken Shadow Demon Lord’s move was fast, but Huang Doudou’s reaction and evasion were even faster!
“This Huang Doudou…she must have been slacking off all this time…”
Blue Ling’er muttered to herself, then clamped her mouth shut when she remembered Yu Yi was nearby.
She glanced at Yu Yi.
Yu Yi remained expressionless.
“It seems I’ll have to train this little lazy bug even more strictly from now on.”
“This is your own fault, Doudou. You can’t blame your senior sister for selling you out…”
Blue Ling’er thought silently.
On the field, the game of Eagle Catches Chicks began.
Huang Doudou’s escape skills were extraordinary, and even the Broken Shadow Demon Lord couldn’t catch her for a while.
Because of her impressive performance, everyone’s eyes were drawn to the Little Yellow Chick darting across the field like a lightning meteor.
At this moment, Huang Doudou was the center of attention in the clouds, while the newly ascended Broken Shadow Demon Lord was overshadowed, leaving him feeling utterly humiliated.
“This…this is the strength of a Demoness’s disciple?”
“Such speed is unbelievable. If she really wanted to escape, who knows how far she’d leave the Broken Shadow Demon Lord behind!?”
The Hundred Martial Sects crowd exclaimed in shock.
Even the Demoness’s disciples were so outstanding—it opened their eyes.
What kind of spectacle would it be if the Demoness herself fought?
Unknowingly, the Hundred Martial Sects’ fear of the Demoness slowly turned to anticipation and awe.
From the heart, reverence for the strong.
Huang Doudou’s performance was certainly dazzling.
But the Ghost Shadow Sect had never been known for playing fair.
Just as Huang Doudou was hitting her stride, she suddenly felt her ankles grabbed.
Looking down, she saw Fragmented Shadow emerging from the darkness, entangling her legs!
“Hehe, little sparrow, I finally caught you.”
Fragmented Shadow laughed slyly.
He had been observing Huang Doudou’s movement patterns and noticed there was a brief gap each time she blinked. It was in that gap that he seized her.
With Huang Doudou restrained, the Broken Shadow Demon Lord arrived like a shadow, determined to finish her.
He only cared for the Demoness.
As for her disciples, if they’d defected, he wouldn’t care, but the loyal ones like Huang Doudou and Blue Ling’er had to be eliminated.
Yet the Broken Shadow Demon Lord was too arrogant.
Just as he struck, a bolt of thunder crashed down from the sky, landing right in front of him.
“Boom!”
With a deafening roar, the ground was blasted into a crater.
The Broken Shadow Demon Lord and Fragmented Shadow were both blown back, while Huang Doudou, immune to lightning, hurriedly retreated, her tear-streaked face rushing to Yu Yi.
“Uwaa—Master, they’re cheating! They’re bullying me!! QAQ”
